The weather has been so nice this wee, so after going to Alphen again to but Stewart and Barbara's LCD TV, I decided another walk around this village was called for after lunch. Because of the huge lake with entrance locks and channels at either end, Nieuwkoop is full of boats and more boats. They are in fact talking about making a big tourist marina just off the town square. On Saturd

ays this square is full of market traders and in fact on the Saturday I walked around and recognised many of the same traders who were around in 1982, when Joan and I left the village.

This evening I spent with Arie and we took the easy way out and sent for a donna kebab with extra filing and garlic sauce. delicious. Spip, Arie's cat is never far away from the action but in the evenings seems to prefer to show you that it's an upside down world, whilst she gets her tummy tickled of course.

Back in TRBC, Joan has been off to a piano and flute recital in Bellapis Abbey, with Pat & Barbara. Her e-mail tells me that it was a very good concert in aid of the Hemitage Restoration project. Joan's friend Anne Lloyd one of the organisers had got them tickets.
